Wow.. did you really find Hud the best actor? He was saying things NO-ONE would ever say when facing a monster.

Another bad thing: when the ‘aliens’ take on the friends in the metro the aliens are like little killingmachines: they go fast like hell and jump fast like hell and it seems like they bite of legs in one bite. However, only Madelena (forgot her name) has a minor wound. They then walk through a door. Are the aliens having a break?

The wound is not as nasty as one would expect, but still its a jab. The girl doesnt really care, she has a laugh with the guy.

But in the end it was fun movie to see. Id give it 3 stars.

The title of the movie was what intrigued me because of its meaning in relation to the movie. An actual cloverfield if seen from far away just seems like a block of green; however if you look closer you see that this block of green is made up of thousands upon thousands of clovers. In the movie, the cloverfield represents one big event: the attack of aliens; but, if you look at it closer the movie is about the SINGLE perspective of a group of a few people with a camera, just one clover in an entire field.

Cloverfield? Wasted money and wasted time.
I saw it online and thanked God I did not waster 20.00 to see it in a theater. What a piece of junk.
I have read people write ooohhh but we saw the actors playing terrified people running for their lives… OOOhhh but we can see that crap on the news DUH….
Oh almost forgot; explain to me how a megaton creature can leap that high and knock down a helicopter flying at least one thousand feet OOhh I forgot; IT’S A STUPID MOVIE… The final straw was the creature of Godzilla size looks down and sees tinny tiny human and snacks on him. Jeez.

Wow. Lostfan actually took the time to point out a whole bunch of unrealistic flaws. I just couldn’t take the time to watch it all over again, but I kinda remember the comedy ending. Twat with camcorder gets eaten by gigantic monster. You have to guess this, as he drops the camcorder from a great hieght and it bounces. One of the remaining charactors runs over while his friend is being munched. What for? You’ve guessed it, to rescue the dambed camcorder. F#@£ the cam. Then hides in a tunnel with the other remaining charactor like some kind of surreal Tom And Jerry sketch, whereby sed gigantic monster stands and crushes them like a couple of bugs. Like I said, F#@£ the cam. Realisticly! Run Mother F#@£ers RUN. These people would work well in an AD for, WHAT NOT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF FIRE. I take it back about Goerge A Romero’s Zombie Vs cam. Dairy Of The Dead actually worked way better than JJ Abrams heap of garbage. Goerge never fails to bring the storey, the gore, the good old fashion flesh eating beasties to the big screen. Check it out. Enjoy. Chow

Awful movie. For those who like it saying that it’s supposed to be “realistic” and show what the average person would do in a similar disaster, I find many flaws with that argument. Here are just some of the silly “realities” that I just can’t swallow in no particular order:

1. The characters are 2-dimensional and cheesy. Who acts like that with a camera?
2. You’re holding a camera while your love interest just got bit and has massive wounds on her shoulder and chest, and instead of helping her, you just keep filming? And she’s dabbing her wounds with a 1/2 piece of tissue like it’s a little “boo-boo”?
3. The U.S. military can’t destroy the monster(s) with massive weaponry, but a couple of chicks in heels with a little pipe can? And yes, I consider Rob a chick, too. He’s pretty enough.
4. Speaking of heels… there’s Beth running up the side of a building in 3-inch gold heels… Then later, barefoot. Neither is believable. Broken glass and debri would f*** her up fast. A “real” person would have looted a decent pair of shoes and a weapon first-thing. And no, I don’t have a foot-fetish or anything like that, it’s just that 1/3 of the movie is people’s feet…
5. Cell phones working in the subway? After a major disaster? Yah right.
6. Was it supposed to be in “real-time”? If so, did they stage the surprise party at 4 a.m.? Because it’s light out by the end of the movie.
7. Someone please explain to me how you film over an SD card and have the previous clip still showing up randomly? This wasn’t one of those old school cameras either.
8. The “love” story was just so god-awful and unneccessary. It would have been more realistic showing a mother or father going back for a child.
9. They survive a helicopter crash? Ouch, that was uncomfortable! Now everybody get up and run away! Oh, and don’t forget the camera!
10. Seriously, if something like that really happened to me and some idiot like Hud was following me around with a camera, I would have slapped him upside the head, knocked the camera out of his hands and told him to either help me with the injured or help me fight the monsters. That would be real.
